Waldbuhne Berlin: A Night of Dances and Rhapsodies

The Waldbuhne Theater constitutes one of the most unique and unusual concert venues in the world; architecturally inspired by the ancient Greek ampitheater at Epidaurus, and ensconced in a natural valley, it seats over twenty thousand and draws enormous crowds perennially. That milieu houses the classical music set in this release, which finds the Berlin Philharmoniker interpreting several symphonic works by European composers including Richard Strauss's Waltzes from Rosenkavalier, Johannes Brahms's Hungarian Dance No. 5 and Bed?ich Smetana's Bartered Bride Overture.
